A/N: I feel totally horrid about taking so long to post this chapter. I am a bad bad woman for making you wait. But my busy life got in the way of the creative flow, and of course the utter devastation at the recent episodes. I hope you will all forgive me!
It didn't take long for Booth to pick up after everyone. And he had a feeling Bones would be in the shower for a nice long time. Temptation got the best of him. After all, he was her partner, and he was pretty sure that the agent in her book was based on him. So why shouldn't he sneak a peek at it? He knew he was rationalizing, but it worked. Slipping into the office, he first opens up yahoo and logs into his email, that way if he gets caught at her computer, he can say he just wanted to check his email since his computer had yet to be moved in.
The list of recent documents was rather short, and most of them were obviously work related. And while one was quite obviously the next installment in Bones' book, the one that caught his eye had his name… "forseeley.doc". Well, well he thought, what could this be? Opening the file he is stunned to find that it is a poem. Bones writes poetry? For him?
It's just another day.
The same routine, only the details change.
Yeah that is true…we are certainly both creatures of habit
It's just like any other
The same faces, the same places.
Yeah the squint squad, the lab or Sid and Wong Fu's or now the dinner.
It should feel the same.
Seeing you smile, your eyes twinkling.
It's nothing new, so why?
Why does it make me feel different,
Today of all days?
Wow, I guess I really am having an effect on her. Maybe she will be open to being more than just friends.
And why does my stomach flutter,
When we hug, when we have hugged
Countless times before.
Oh wow, so much for man hugs!
It's nothing new,
But I don't think the difference is you.
Well technically I have been acting different thanks to therapy, and well Sully coming in and trying to win her heart. Thank God she is over that pompous idiot,
It's just another day,
The same routine, just details changed
It's not like any other
Even with the same faces, same places.
It's just another day,
But it doesn't feel the same.
It's just another day.
Unlike any other.
The details have changed.
Leading me to discover,
My feelings for you.
I wonder if it was the tie? Hmmm now what should I do, she obviously cares, but does she love me? Would she be willing to move beyond best friends? I shouldn't rush this. After all I just moved into a new house with the woman. Cool it Seeley. This time you are playing to win.
Hearing the shower turn off he closed the file and exited out of the computer. He went to the kitchen and got himself another beer. While he needed to be sober enough to get a good nights sleep since Parker was coming over in the morning, he needed to take the edge off after discovering that Bones had feelings for him. He was sitting at the counter, drinking the beer when Temperance came in from her shower. Her hair fell loose and wet around her shoulders, and all she had on was a short green silk robe that fell just to her thigh. At first he didn't notice her standing there, but he looked up and groaned inwardly at the site of her when she said" I think I have a solution to our dilemma".
Right now, unless that solution involved that robe falling to the floor, he was not going to be able to concentrate on it one bit.
